This 1 hour long program explores piano music inspired by Earth, Wind, Water and Fire.

“Music of Terezin”
This lecture recital explores music written by two of Terezin’s most important composers – Gideon Klein and Viktor Ullmann. Pieces to be performed and discussed include Gideon Klein’s monumental Piano Sonata, and the final movement of Ullmann’s 7th Sonata, “Variations and Fugue on a Hebrew Folksong.”
The length and exact format of this program is flexible, and can be adjusted according to the needs or your program. It has been effective both as a stand-alone program, and as part of a larger event, such as a Yom HaShoah service.
“People here are still talking about the event, and especially about your wonderful comments concerning the composers and your fantastic musicality and talent.” – Rabbi Joel Pitkowsky, Congregation Beth Israel, Worcester MA
